21st August 1968 next week, just three weeks away from the day I was born. Was really hoping my chart would come round this time especially as it's a great chart. Unless I'm mistaken I think Fluff was the last person to feature it.

I would similarly have liked the chart nearer the end of August or beginning of September played, so that the Beach Boys' Do It Again would be no 1.

Once billed as a singer of romantic standards in the style of Johnny Mathis, JOHNNY NASH achieved his greatest success when he visited Jamaica in the 1960s and developed his world-famous reggae-influenced style.

· For his 1972 album I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW, Nash worked with Bob Marley and the Wailers, then still a struggling group from Kingston, Jamaica. Marley wrote or co-wrote several songs, and Nash used the group as his backing musicians on the album.

· The title track from I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was a huge international success, reaching #5 on the UK Singles Chart. The Bob Marley-written single STIR IT UP was also internationally successful, reaching the Top 15 in both the US and UK. THERE ARE MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS gave Nash a third UK hit single, reaching the Top Ten.

I am an avid listener to Radio 2, especially Sounds of the 60s and Pick of the Pops (they're my two favourite shows). Last week's Pick of the Pops I thought was amazing. They were counting down the charts from 15 August 1963 and 1982. I'm not so keen on 80s music but 60s music is just the best in my opinion.

That 1963 chart was excellent. Tomorrow it is 1968 and 1991, as I'm sure you will be aware. I think Gambo has done 1991 before? The week after it will be time to hear the hits from 1970 and 1984. Sadly won't be around to hear that but I will get it on the BBC Iplayer radio app.

I will comment on tomorrow's Pick of the Pops when I hear it. I'm sure it will be good.

I knew Bob Marley wrote 'Stir It Up' and remember Johnny Nash performing it on TOTP.

The information on Amazon may be correct but according to Wikipedia 'The Fabulous Five Inc.' backed Nash on the 'I Can See Clearly Now' album.

Nine members of the group are listed in the relevant link (accessible from the link below) and AFAIK none of these musicians were ever part of Bob Marley's backing band The Wailers.

Listening to Pick of the Pops now. They're counting down the charts from 1968 and 1991. At number 6 they played I Close my Eyes and Count to Ten by Dusty Springfield and they're at number 4 now. 1991 in the next hour. I don't think that will be as good personally but I will let you know what I think.

Today's Pick of the Pops was quite good. Great number 1 in 1991 (Bryan Adams Everything I Do I Do it for You). I loved the 68 chart, great songs.

Here are the charts he played -

20 - Johnny Nash Hold Me Tight
19 - The Small Faces The Universal
17 - Aretha Franklin I Say a Little Prayer
16 - Canned Heat On the Road Again
15 - Dave, Dee, Beaky, Dozy, Mick and Tich Last Night in Soho
14 - The Kinks Days
13 - Bruce Channel Keep On
11 - Simon and Garfunkel Mrs. Robinson
10 - Sly and the Family Stone Dance to the Music
9 - Amen Corner High in the Sky
8 - Herman's Hermits Sunshine Girl
7 - The Bee Gees I've Got a Message to You
6 - Dusty Springfield I Close my Eyes and Count to Ten
5 - Tom Jones Help Yourself
4 - The Beach Boys Do it Again
3 - Herb Alpert This Guy's in Love with You
2 - The Crazy World of Arthur Brown Fire
1 - Tommy James and the Shondelles Mony Mony

The songs he skipped were -

18 - Ohio Express Yummy /Yummy Yummy
12 - Des O'Connor I Pretend

Next week it's 30 August 1970 and 1984. It sounds like a good chart, but I won't be there at the time, so I'll listen on the BBC Iplayer radio app and let you know what I think. Does anyone know what it will be the week after (2 September)? I look at the schedules on the RadioTimes website and today it's only going up to 31 August on there today. If anybody knows what the years will be on 2 September if you could let me know that would be much appreciated. Just interested.

Agree with previous posters that '67 and '70 have both been featured recently, and I too thought that they would feature 1967 on 30 September.

'67 was featured last year I think. The planning on this show baffles me sometimes. Two hours of 1965 next week, on my birthday too, what the hell is that about? Would have been nice to feature a year after I was born. Jeez I hate '65 with a passion as well.

Grrr... More re-writing of pop history: another very obviously fake version was played that's very different to the original.

You might expect this on TinPot FM, but POTP and Phil 'The Collector' Swern really ought to know better.

Perhaps Gambo isn't familiar with the original (well, it's a bit cheesy and didn't cross the pond), or does 7 Digital Productions source its material from cheap CDs bought at the local garage rather than the BBC Record Library?
